What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Thanks

 

Tell me that ain't good gas mileage for a v6 4x4 double cab

 

ive gone 107 miles with a quarter tank so far

 

That's 30/70 city/highway . Do you count that second line as quarter tank?

 

i get about 75-80 by the first line....

 

Is that a Jason camper that you have?

 

Finished them. Not a perfect match, but pretty close. I don't think silver plastic can ever match silver metal. I decided to not do the charcoal inlay on the Toyota emblem because I think it is cleaner this way.

So for kicks, here is what 5-stars look like w/out caps. Kinda cool.


Painted caps on:

 

Great job! Those look amazing man!

 

ahhhh im like 10 % city. i count that line as a quarter tank

 

Hmmmmm...... I don't know. That is odd.

Nice.

 

+1

looks way better with the center caps.

 

Wheeled mine a little today. Just a little bit of local wheelin on the edge of Reno.

 

I've had this 03 since september last year. It was my GF's rig til july when i sold my 07 and I got her a car. Now this is my rig and build in progress.

Next on my mods list:
new front shocks/coils, then 4.88's and lockers, and full skids when I can afford it.

Here's another angle from over the summer posing on a rock at the bottom of the same trail

 

Wheeled with a bunch of Chevies, a Heep and a fellow Taco.......... TALK ABOUT ONE OF THE MOST BORING OFF-ROAD TRIPS I'VE EVER BEEN ON!!!!! Two of the Chevy owners were being a weee bit wussy about going down a part of the trail that might've scratched their paint, one of them didn't want to go in the sand because he was afraid he'd get stuck, the Blazer on 37s broke his manual hubs somehow and had to finish the run (included by a tow up a hill) in 2wd, and later the same Blazer broke down completely and we had to jumpstart him for the ride home..... The Jeep actually didn't break anything this time, so it wasn't too bad.

I guess that's why Toyota's are more fun.....

 

Nice! So what made you decide to go with 4.88s instead of 5.29s? Just wanted to keep the rpms lower on the highway?

 

well it's got factory 4.30 gears with the 35's right now(bought it with the tires/wheels/lift) and it doesnt do all that bad and averages 18+mpg so I dont want to go too high and kill the gas mileage. I think 4.88's will be enough improvement over the 4.30's to pull the 35's well and crawl a little better too.

 

Not done yet but it sure looks nice

 

Thats going to be a future mod for mine as well.

 

I hate you
